From 400 km above the planet, astronaut Thomas Pesquet saw what most of us never will: coastlines glowing at dawn, storms spiraling across oceans, cities flickering to life at night, and a planet that feels both vast and incredibly vulnerable.

In "The Earth in Our Hands," Pesquet captures Earth as only the International Space Station can reveal it—through more than 200 breathtaking photographs taken during his 200 days in space. It’s a journey from first light to nightfall, across deserts, rivers, mountains, and luminous cities, all seen through the lens of someone who understands just how delicate it all is.

This Earth Day, it’s a reminder: there is no distance far enough to escape the impact of climate change, but there is still time to protect what we have.

Tree houses have a way of capturing the imagination, offering kids a space that feels entirely their own and pulling them outside in a way few things can.

In "Tree Houses You Can Actually Build," David and Jeanie Stiles take what might seem like an overwhelming project and make it approachable. Through clear, step-by-step instructions, nontechnical drawings, and five adaptable designs, they show how even a first-time builder can create something safe, lasting, and deeply meaningful for their family.

The book walks through everything from early planning to final construction, with a strong emphasis on safety and smart design, so you’re not just building something magical, but something built to last.

🎥 A look at what can happen when you take that first step.
